service oriented architecture

In the current business climate, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as a potentially attractive solution for helping enterprises to become more flexible in achieving the vision of a collaborative and process centric organization. Designed from a services perspective and implemented as a set of loosely coupled systems, an SOA can help enterprises integrate disparate applications.

 

As you get ready to re-look at your enterprise IT infrastructure as part of your modernization exercise, with a view to enable business process flexibility at an incremental cost, MNJ Software can help you with our spectrum of SOA consulting services.

 

MNJ Software takes a structured approach to delivery, and draws on its years of expertise in architecture and design, skill-sets on various standards, technologies and platforms related to J2EE, .NET, Web Services, MOM, CORBA, Integration, BPM and Security, as well as industry domain knowledge to deliver high value to customers. MNJ Software has developed migration methodologies, templates and an Enterprise Architecture Framework based on the Zachman framework, to move existing applications to a service-oriented model.
